"One year, 5 months 2 days after first cut in plywood" - Obviously you started from the plans and not the kit. Can you give a guess as to what impact having the "click together" kit might have had on your construction time? I hope you were not working 40 hours/week during this time - was it just weekends or partial weekends? Clearly I'm getting ready to pull the trigger, but want abetter idea what I'm gettin into. Have built 2 kayaks, 1 optimist and worked on repair/maintenance on many wooden sailboats.
Thanks, Keith, SC
